Make sure ground on both are connected to each other. Power both the ESP8266 and the LED strip with the 5V + and GND connections. Connections: Probably the easiest project out there.Most chargers can handle 2 Amps+ these days. Between the ESP8266 and the strip, you will need at least 1 Amp. I’m using a 5V Apple charger that provides 2 Amps. Power Supply: As the LED strip is limited to 76 pixels, it doesn’t have a lot of current demand.For this build i used these which have the WS28912B chips (these are my go-to LED’s these days). NeoPixel LED Strip: Given the price these days, I typically buy 5M meter lengths, but you only need about 3ft.Can be made with other WiFi-enabled MCU’s. Probably much safer than anything electrical you can find at a dollar store! 😉 It’s also low voltage and the LEDs and controller are sealed (they don’t get hot), so I would say this is pretty good on the safety scale. It’s pretty easy to build with only a few components needed. I had a “duh” moment after realizing I videoed from the backside (showing the ESP8266 controller case) and missed the moon (on the lower left in front). The video below demonstrates first all the LED sequences that can be controlled by the Blynk app, and secondly some weather patterns that would show based on current weather conditions. So a big puffy, Internet-connected weather mood light. sparkles, bouncing balls, any colour want etc).

Second (this is the “dude that’s cool” bit) – It uses Blynk so my son can use his phone to set manual lightning sequences or RGB colours (e.g. Data is parsed from a JSON feed and rendered in LED sequences in the cloud (rain, sunny, thunderstorms etc). What does it do? First it displays weather forecast info using weather data from.

I couldn’t just go with status quo, so instead with a little grit and some free time I got on the LED cloud bandwagon and built him something a big puffy cloud with lights – what every teen wants right? 😉 You know the ones that you see on Amazon with the remote controls. So, my son’s been bugging me to get him some of those LED strips for his room.
